ABOUT NEW MUSIC DUBLIN
New Music Dublin is Ireland’s foremost contemporary music festival, taking place in Spring each year within the National Concert Hall and other venues throughout Dublin. It is a true partnership project, as whilst the festival is programmed and managed by New Music Dublin CLG, it only exists through very significant support from partner organisations including the Arts Council, the National Concert Hall, RTÉ, Culture Ireland, the Contemporary Music Centre, RIAM, and Irish performing groups including Crash Ensemble, Evlana and Chamber Choir Ireland.
![Long time festival collaborators Crash Ensemble present an immersive programme of four premieres at New Music Dublin 2026, which will close out the festival on Sunday April 19th.✨
This clip is from David Fennessy’s ‘Jack’,
Which is also the title of the concert. Commissioned as part of Crash Ensemble’s [REACTIONS] series, it explores restraint, intimacy and near-silence through writing for electric guitars. 🎸
Alongside Jack, the programme includes the world premiere of Hannah Kendall’s Building a Burning House, a major new 20-minute work co-commissioned by Crash Ensemble, Miller Theatre (New York) and Ensemble Musikfabrik, as well as exciting works by Tansy Davies and Jonathan Nangle.
